Re-Activating Craig Virgin

It's cool to see Craig Virgin, one of the best American distance runners in history, still drawing the interest of running fans worldwide. A few emailers have let us know that our Activeness! story on Craig Virgin from last spring has been linked to by two high-traffic running web sites: LetsRun.com and DyeStat.

Among what JPD and I took away from our meeting with Craig was the idea that champions in every endeavor — from business to track and field — take charge of every detail and are incredibly passionate about what they're doing.

Update: Last June, Virgin had another scary incident in the car when a lug nut and its bolt exploded through his windshield. He wonders, "Am I extremely unlucky, or am I extremely lucky?"
